Magic Banana grades my homework constructively:

pipe: that is wrong
Here's my mistake: ... | grep '[0-9]$' > intermediate.txt | awk ...
It should have been: ... | grep '[0-9]$'- | awk ...
And Magic Banana's last version of the command did exactly this as accepted
by awk.

I have a awful time finding the orphans ... awk senses a missing } which I've
yet to find in my long script.
I've tried to clean things up:
time tr -sc 0-9\\n ' ' < CPV-GB-OneCol0-6192019.txt | awk '{ k = 0; for (i =
0; k < 4 && ++i Output-TwoCol.txt
This is not yet working, as awk doesn't recognize myscript01.awk or
myscript02.awk, which are both in the current directory and
were made executable with "chmod +x myscrip??.awk" according to the
referenced HTML link. Taking the forward slashes out doesn't
help; not does removing the hidden-file dot character do those scripts need a
preceding -f ?
As in Fortran, the error statements only reflect the consequence of errors,
not their cause ...
